Indian Cricket Team would be quite relieved after winning a grueling Test Match against India. The Men in Blue had to toil a lot as Bangladeshi batters showed a lot of character. Kuldeep Yadav was the Man of The Match for taking 8 wickets which included a 5 wicket haul in the 1st innings and an invaluable contribution of 40 runs in the 1st innings.

Bangladesh would be proud of their performance as batting over 100 overs against a quality Indian attack is never easy. Zakir Hasan was the stand-out performer where he smashed a ton on debut and it looked as if he had played 30-odd Test Matches.

KL Rahul on Kuldeep Yadav

KL Rahul was seen in the post match press conference and was asked about Kuldeep Yadav. “We did bowl Ashwin first but even Ashwin that there wasn’t much help from the wicket so I though Kuldeep will bring in a different variety and that is why we brought Kuldeep on a pitch like this. He brings in variety, he brings in something different and that paid off so I am happy.” said KL Rahul.

Middle Order Concern for Bangladesh

In the 2nd innings, if the likes of Mushfiqur Rahim & Litton Das would have shown some resistance then the outcome of the match could have been different. We all know that Rahim is one of the senior batters as he would be utterly disappointed as he is someone who knows how to stick to the crease and play long and effective innings.

Bangladesh now need to make sure that they cross the finish line as most of the times they are failing in crunch situations of the match. There is uncertainty regarding Shakib’s availability as head Coach Russell Domingo as said that he may play as a pure batter.
